The soldiers moving down the main street are held up by the local sedan chair ...
An old amour accosts Red Jack ....
As they move towards the main street - soldiers by the windmill move their way ...
No sign of him yet sir, reports an officer to the Governor - I'll take a couple of men and check the quayside ....
Red Jack moves down towards the main street ... soldiers are behind him ...
Red Jack hides by the cart preparing to make a dash to get into the churchyard.. then shots are heard
The soldiers rush off to investigate, finding one of their men down and a pirate dead....
with the soldiers gone Red Jack moves up the main street, keeping an eye open ...

Red Jack moves to the headland and is spotted by his men on the boat ...
As Red Jack moves towards the boat along the quay, a couple of his crew move up the jetty  - the officer shouts 'there he is !'
Red Jack dodges under the colonnade of the customs house... while some of his crew from the boat attack the soldiers ...
Red Jack fires his pistols and runs at a soldier brandishing his cutlass ...as one of his crew fights with an officer...
So close now, they get nearer to the jetty ... one of the pirates is down ...
... more sword play - the soldier is forced off the jetty into the harbour and Red Jack makes it to the boat - they set sail for his ship the Saucy Sue, the soldiers fire a couple of shots but miss ....
one of Red Jack's men on the headland discards his weapons and swims out to picked up...the commander of the detachment searching the town updates the Governor ....
